This episode's subplot is a parody of The Dick Van Dyke Show episode "Never Bathe On Saturday" in which the character of Laura Petrie gets her toe stuck in the faucet, just like Carly does in this episode. Carly is even shown watching the episode in her bathtub prior to trying the stunt for herself.
One of the shows Carly is watching on TV in the bathroom features Miranda Cosgrove on another sitcom directed by Dan Schneider. It is called Drake and Josh and the episode she is watching is called The Peruvian Puff Pepper this is the third reference to Drake and Josh on the show and only the second time she is seen watching it the first time being iGet Pranky.
